Vito Nazorine

Vito Nazorine was an Italian-American pastry shop owner.

Biography
Vito Nazorine was born in Corleone, Sicily, and he was a childhood friend of Vito Corleone. He immigrated to the United States and became a bakery owner in the Little Italy neighborhood of New York City during the 1930s, using his friendship with Don Corleone (by now a major Mafia boss) to call in favors. In 1945, he was able to call in another favor to ensure that his employee Enzo Aguello, a former Italian prisoner-of-war, would be able to continue working at his shop, as he had fallen in love with his daughter Katherine. The Don did so, and Nazorine showed his gratitude by baking an enormous cake for the wedding. After Nazorine retired in the 1950s, Aguello took over the bakery.
